Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson’s head coach, who was also his general manager, got fired after four games and was replaced by a defensive-minded interim.
Last week, Will Fuller — the Texans’ No. 1 receiver only because of the inexplicable trade of superstar DeAndre Hopkins last offseason — was suspended six games for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. Friday afternoon, David Johnson, the Texans’ leading rusher, was put on the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list.
Watson’s offensive line is third-worst in the NFL, according to Football Outsiders’ Adjusted Sack Rate. His defense allows the third-most yards in the NFL.
